Chapter 227: Where will I feel ashamed
What You Meng wanted to say just now sounded a bit unbelievable.
"However, this list is a bit unreasonable. How can anyone invest in two competitors at the same time? This should usually be an either/or choice, such as Facebook and Titter, Alibaba and JD.com, there is a competitive relationship, you should only be able to vote for one of them, right? Vinegar Tan used his relatively limited financial knowledge to raise questions.
That's what makes the Digital Sky Technologies (DST) venture capital fund at the helm of Yuri Milner different.
He's the kind of guy who just invests money and never asks about operations.
There will be no voting rights, no seats on the board of directors or anything.
He gave all his rights except for the proceeds to the founder.
No matter how the companies he invested in pinched each other, he never stood in line, and he had a good relationship with anyone. You Meng wanted to continue answering questions.
"Wow, that would be a perfect investor, right?
Giving you money doesn't mean to influence any of the founder's decisions at all.
This kind of absolute trust is simply the perfect way to open angel investment, right?
So why hasn't it been negotiated yet? The more Vinegar Tan listened, the more confused he became.
"I think it's a little bit early, and Yuri Milner is the kind of person who doesn't make early-stage investments.
He has never invested less than $200 million.
At our company's current valuation, we really want to collect an investment of $200 million.
At least half of the equity will be transferred.
If I give less, I will be suspected of cheating investors. You Meng wanted to explain why.
"Is that so, then why rush back to talk when you know you can't talk?" Vinegar Tan felt even more foggy.
"Because he's Yuri Milner, letting investors know that he's interested in us can be a trendsetter.
And, don't you think it's a promising thing to have a global godfather?
I'll just say that it's not for investment, it's necessary to know people.
He may just say on a whim that he wants to take a look, and if he misses this time, there will be no next time. You Meng wanted to explain the simplest logic to Vinegar Tan.
"Then if he doesn't invest in early projects, why should he take a fancy to your OK Technology, doesn't he feel like a waste of time?" Vinegar Tan thought about it the other way, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"He's probably just curiously interested in the basic genetic study of the sense of smell.
Because he has a scientific dream of his own, he is also interested in our company's engineering background.
In addition to DST, he established the Yuri Prize in Physics named after himself, both with $3 million, 2.5 times the Nobel Prize. "You Meng wants to explain to his girlfriend that any problem requires a lot of patience and patience.
"Is it only physical? Are there any physiology or medical awards, the kind that our Ms. Tan can win? Speaking of winning the award, Vinegar Tan remembered his Mei Tan Mommy.
"Not yet, Yuri himself was born in physics, and he spent 100 million dollars with Stephen Hawking and Mark Zuckerberg to support the gram-weight Nanocraft (nanocraft) that sent a beam of light to enter the nearest and visible star to Earth, Alpha Centauri, he can be regarded as a scientist in the investment community." You Meng wanted to give a vinegar Tan regretful expression.
You Meng wanted to see the disappointment on Vinegar Tan's face, so he continued: "Yuri's own award is not something that Ms. Tan can win, but there is another Breakthrough Prize (breakthrough prize) funded by Ma's father, Zuckerberg and others, in addition to mathematics, physics, and life sciences, and the prize money is also 3 million US dollars, which is the same as the award he personally established." ”
You Meng wanted to think that the disappointment of Vinegar Tan was due to the fact that Ms. Tan from her own family had no chance of winning the award.
"Hey, I don't think I can listen to it anymore, whether it's a global godfather or a physics award, I'm just like listening to a book from heaven.
After living at the bottom of the well for so many years, I feel that the world I have to face is so complicated.
What to do, I think I'm going to be crushed by you.
It's so sad that I just shamelessly went to tell my cousin to ask her to give you some rent reduction or something.
As a result, she said that the reduction is not good, but the investment is okay. He also said that your company is fragrant.
I'm so lonely.
You are simply being chased by capital, and you are not short of money at all.
Am I ashamed of you? Vinegar Tan looked frustrated.
"How could it be, there is someone who helps me inside and out, it's too late for me to be happy, where will I feel ashamed.
And I must have been short of money to come to today's meeting.
I'm not short of money, and I let so many people know what I'm looking for VC money for? You Meng wanted to say with a pampered face.
Vinegar Tan was still a little depressed, and what You Meng wanted to say was obviously comforting her.
My cousin is right, the company You Meng wants is not worried about not being able to get venture capital at all, this is simply a "seller's market", and what You Meng wants to do is just "wait for the price and sell".
The devastated little vinegar was thinking about how she was going to work hard, and You Meng thought about opening her mouth and waiting for the action of food, which pulled her thoughts back.
While thinking about the direction of his daughter-in-law, Vinegar Tan seriously began to do his own job as a nurse.
"What I'm talking about isn't complicated, it's just that it's a completely new field for you, so it feels strange to you, but I think your intuition is amazing. Actually, I can consider your cousin's proposal. You Meng wanted to see the sullenness of Vinegar Tan, so he decided to further explore the problem just now.
"Don't comfort me, I'm a shameful vase, I feel like I'm worthless." Vinegar Tan should have known a long time ago that her boyfriend has never belonged to the category of normal human beings.
"I mean really, I didn't mean to comfort you. The only question is, is your cousin planning to invest in her own or in the name of Indle Aromatherapy? ”
"What's the difference? Is it all money, can it be any different? My cousin's own money must be legitimate. "Vinegar Tan doesn't know why.
"It's not a question of legality or illegality, it's a question of nature. Yes, it's all money, the difference is a bit big, if it's your cousin's personal money, I won't consider it, if it's indle aromatherapy investment, I'll seriously consider it. You Meng wants to be "well-behaved and sensible" to the extent that he will eat whatever Vinegar Tan feeds.
"Alright, don't comfort me. Anyway, I know now that you're not short of money, and I'm sure I'll never mention it to her again. When you're done eating, I'll go and make up for your financial knowledge. "Vinegar Tan has a new short-term goal.
